German Language and Literature William H. Carruth, Professor.
The last ten years have everywhere seen modern languages assume a greater importance in collegiate courses of study. The department of German, with which the other modern languages have been included until the past few years, has been fully alive to this movement, and by eneary and hard work has given to its courses a scope and a solidity that such courses yet mainly lack in our colleges. Ten years ago all instruction in modern languages was given by one "Assistant Professor of German, French, and Free-hand drawing." Mow the time of one professor is wholly taken by the instruction in German alone. Three of the four general courses give two and a half years to German, which insures a considerable familiarity of eye and ear with the language. So much is demanded not only by those to whom the practical ability to use it will be of service in their business among a population containing so many who still use it as their mother tongue and use no other, but also by all who expect to devote themselves to serious professional study, whether in fields of science or of literature; for that in
all departments of human knowledge "the best books are in German" is at least pretty generally recognized. The department seeks further to stimulate and satisfy a more ideal demand for an acquaintance with German thought and life as they have found expression in literature and art, for a knowledge of Lessing, Schiller, and Goethe as force in the world of their day and of ours. This is especially the aim of the advanced optional work. This year the second part of Faust has been read; the first part of Faust and Lessing's Laocoon are offered for the future. This part of the work will now be expanded as the assistant, Mr. —— will set free the time of the professor now absorbed by the work of lower classes. The special student of German language and literature will find in the library a constantly growing collection of the works of the more important writers, and the necessary apparatus of texts, grammars and dictionaries for the study of both newer and older forms of the language—Middle High German, Old High German, Gotbic. To oke out the bare text the beginning has been made of a collection of casts, photographs, engravings, etchings, maps, etc., illustrative of German life, manners and art in the past and present. This collection will be constantly added to. An appropriation for that purpose is now available.

And you those kisses covet.
Pray do not prate of sweetness lost,
Nor think too harshly of it.

Which says: "Do unto others
As you'd have me do to you." — *Ex.*
